I've narrowed it down to these two guys. I would like a little input to see what you think about these tires. They will both be 27". 10x12 on front, 12x12 on rear. For all four tires, there is $20 difference. Mudbugs are a little more. What do you think?

Wassup everyone, this is my first entry as a new member and I hope my opinion helps out. A friend has a Polaris Magnum 500 with the 27" Mud Bugs which seem to perform very well in the mud thus the name. As I sat stuck in a mud hole with my stock sportsman tires he proceeded to push me "out of his way" and continue thru the hole, [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img] "Thanks pal". They are a bumpy ride on hard pack but steer very easy. I can't say much for the Dirt Devils but I am a big fan of Titan M/T 589's which are agressive and smoother on hardpack.

Best of Muddin to ya.

Swamp Donkee:
Welcome to the forum! If you can sift through the "b.s." in a few of the other area's, I think you'll enjoy it here. A lot of great guys with a ton of great information. I think most people will agree the AC forum is about the most mild-mannered one on here. Hardly any "trash" talk, just a bunch of great folks with good advice who love to ride. Best of luck to ya!

Waco-
Sorry man, can't help you with the Dirt Devils either. You know my take on the 'Bugs, if the $20 is the deciding factor, I say forget it and just get the 'Bugs, I don't think you'll regret it.

Best of luck guys, and happy trails!

Mike

For only $20 difference, I would get the Mud Bugs. I have been thinking of getting Mud Bugs or 589's myself for awhile. Let us know what you get.

Well it depends on what kinda riding you are gonna be doing? Do you want the 27s for clearance or mudding?

If you want a better performer in mud I recomend Mud Bugs out of your choices, but I personally preffer 589s. IF you want a better ride and alot of ground clearance-- go for the Dirt Devils. They will offer you a very smooth ride and great traction in just about everything but mud-- where it will give you fair traction.
